General Notes.
J. p. Jones, of the Troy Steam Laun.
dry, is constantly putting in new ma,
chlnery for lavatory purposes.
Giesy & Spargo have our acknowledge
ment for literary courtesies of the week.
Mr.. E. J. Wagner, the clothier on the
east side of Main street, has returned
from Laramie. He has definitely re-
solved to settle permanently in Ogden,
which he considers the most promising
location. His family will follow him in
few weeks.
The sturdy old one-armed veteran, Mr..
Thomas Luty, Waterman, celebrated the
66th anniversary of his birthday, on the
18th instant. He looks as hale and
hearty as he did long years ago, when an
accident on Fourth of July cannonade
deprived him of one of his limbs.
Persons DESTROYS of purchasing real
estate will do well to grapple time and
opportunity by the forelock. Great bar
gains are still in the market, such as the
handsome and thoroughly well appointed
mansion on Spring street, occupied by
MIR. lsadore Marks, the property of Mr..
Percival j. BaTatt.
The other day James Horrocks sold
twenty-one feet of land on Fifth street,
between Main and Young, to Reese
Howell. In a few weeks a couple of fine
brick stores will be erected there. Thus
Ogden grows.
Lamont erik, one of our rising young
merchants, has purchased piece of land
near South street. By the way, his two
story brick block on Fifth street is going
up in conjunction with that of Willard
Kay.
1t is not pleasing, but, nevertheless, a
solid fact, that there exists some dissen-
sion, or at least difference of opinion.
among certain of the loyal citizens con-
corning the desirability or undesirability
'of their taking the oath under the new
Edmunds-Tucker law. OF course, every
one has a right to his own opinion and
discretion, but it does not pay to fall out
about SO small a thing. The brethren's
example of oneness" ought to be a lamp
to our feet.
The school elections will take place in
July, as | wrote you before, and not i n
August, as your proof-reader made it
appear.
Crawling on Fifth street, under the
Peacock plan, is being pushed ahead Wig
orously.
The Chapman House looks as pretty as
a pink with its new coat of paint and
varnish and other embellishments.
Mr.. McLaren Boyle, OF the great
furniture firm of Boyle & Co., is still in
the East, visiting the leading manufac-
tories.
The plank sidewalks down to the depot
are in lamentably tottering condition.
A few kegs of nails or spikes might be
very appropriately applied to their re-
generation. Or at least drive down what
nails there are left in the old rickety
lumber
&yho is to be our next city attorney?
ThaG is the question. A certain faction
,of the Peoples party are in favor of
Nathan Tanner, Jr., and others are as
bitterly opposing this selection, hence the
present deadlock. Meanwhile Hon. w.
X. White occupies the position de fdcto,
Hon. r. X. Williams being the titular
incumbent. There's more GLORY" than
money in the office, anyhow, hence
don't think anybody is very badly
scrambling for it.
We have had real nice, quiet, sun
shiny, promenadable Sunday, just the
day for healthful and joyful out-of-town
drives and rides.
The constantly increasing popularity
of the Baptist Sabbath school was again
exemplifed yesterday, when the attend
ance was over 100, and the collection
from the little ones mites aggregated be-
tween 50 and So. Under Rev. f. Barnett
and superintendent Lindley the school is
prosperous.
I've received a prospectus of the First
International Congress of Societies and
Friends of Cremation, to be held at |
Milan, Italy, next September. Amongst |
the list of members, [ notice some from
New York, Ontario, Valparaiso, New Or |
leans, San Francisco st. Louis and other |
points on the western hemisphere. The |
affair is likely to prove of universal in
'erest, involving grave questions.
VIM. Van Dyke has come to town |
Lake City.
